URGENT ACTION requested to Save the Montana Main Street program!

Last week an amendment to reinstate funding for the Montana Main Street Program in the Senate Finance and Claims Committee failed with a 10 to 10 vote. HB2 will move to the Senate floor this week and, at this time, does not contain any funding for this exemplary and most effective program.

Please submit letters of support for the program to your Senator/s and to the Senate Secretary Marilyn Miller at [email protected].
